Outputs Text generation**: The model generates text as output. It is not designed for other output modalities like images or structured data. Capabilities The meditron models demonstrate strong performance on a variety of medical reasoning tasks, including medical exam question answering, supporting differential diagnosis, and providing disease information. Their medical domain-specific pretraining allows them to encode and apply relevant medical knowledge more effectively than general language models. What Can I Use It For? The meditron models are being made available for further testing and assessment as AI assistants to enhance clinical decision-making and improve access to large language models in healthcare. Potential use cases include: Medical exam question answering Supporting differential diagnosis Providing disease information (symptoms, causes, treatments) General health information queries However, the maintainers advise against deploying these models directly in medical applications without extensive testing and alignment with specific use cases, as they have not yet been adapted to deliver medical knowledge appropriately, safely, or within professional constraints. Things to Try While it is possible to use the meditron models to generate text, which can be useful for experimentation, the maintainers strongly recommend against using the models directly for production or work that may impact people. Instead, they suggest exploring the use of the models in a more controlled and interactive way, such as by deploying them with a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference engine and a user interface that supports chat and text generation. The maintainers have provided a deployment guide using the FastChat platform with the vLLM inference engine, and have collected generations for qualitative analysis through the BetterChatGPT interactive UI.
